A Woman's View: Klitschko vs. Peter, Dawson vs. Tarver

[edgarg]

If she knows anything about boxing, then why not give her a colume just under her name? Why advertise it as a "womans view"? What next, a "mans view" of synchronised swimming? Whats so special about a womans take on boxing? An opinion is an opinion. It makes no difference to me if its a man or woman, but what is ****** is that they are diliberately playing the gender card like:

Look girls we know boxing is predominately a male sport, but come visit our website, we are different; we give a "womans view" of this brutal sport.

Women often have a different outlook on what always, until recently, was solely a man's sport. Women can have different opinions from men on, say, the brutality often shown in a bout, or the emotional effect on the wife and family of a beaten fighter, things the average man cares nothing about, but which, actually, to me anyway, would make good and interesting reading.

In fact women can have different viewpoints than men on just about anything. Believe ME...I KNOW.

It just happens that Amy is either not interested in these "extras" or sees things exactly the way a man does....So why castigate her, she hasn't done anything wrong.

At least in this particular fight.

Nice and precise recap. Good conclusions. Pleasure to read, unlike most of uninformative, illogical "articles" posted at BS.

I agree, and i have been writing for a long time, that VK is the most acurate pin-point puncher in boxing for YEARS.

When you consider that apart from round 10 against Chris Byrd where he had to quit with a rotator cuff tear, and the 2 very dubious rounds given to Lennox Lewis, neither of which I thought Lewis won, in his 38 fights it would be difficult, if not impossible to find another round that he lost. The only explanation for that is his extreme accuracy, which the article mentions.

Klitschko/Peter - Time heals all wounds as was evident by Vitali Klitschko's (36-2, 35 KO) performance against Sam Peter (30-2, 23KO). Klitschko showed no signs of a three-year absence from the ring, and was barely winded in his post fight remarks with Steve Farhood. Sam Peter was ungainly and ineffectual against the fit, calm, collected and deadly precise Klitschko, and never succeeded in establishing anything vaguely resembling combinations, offense, or much defense. Instead he ate a steady diet of stiff jabs, hard rights and painful combinations served up by Dr. Iron Fist. [details]

FOR AMY GREEN- I answered your note but I find no record of either your note or my answer in my file, so I obviously pressed the wrong tabs or keys or whatever they are. I'm a very poor computer operator. I wanted to point out that the Titles
Klitschko holds are the IBF, WBO, and "IBO", {not the IBA}.

In all else, I thought your article was factual, and good.
